By Clint Young The typical reaction when someone reads or hears the words, "fast" or "fasting" is to immediately think of someone in a religious classification that they don't want to be part of. Overall, these words strike a negative chord with most. And most certainly want to avoid what their perception of a fast is or what it might involve. This typical reaction is both unfortunate and quite inaccurate. Actually, each person fasts each day when they sleep. Fasting is when one is not eating.

First we found the humorous look at authoritarians featured on Ludwig von Mises Institute's marvelous site. Then we discovered what prompted the post on Ampersand's left leaning site. And now we just cannot stop laughing at both of them. Do we find both of these so humourous because most of us recognize ourselves in both of them? Does that mean that we are somewhere in the mushy middle of America working to survive daily as we also strive to restore the republic? The art of relationships and healthy debate can be aided by humor if we let it. We hope you enjoy this little side by side or a walk on the far side. You decide. Special thanks to Barry Deutsch for a delightful original graphic piece on Ampersand.
